Re: Google Gears
This may not provide all the same features as Google gears but what about Thunderbird with offline caching turn on? Similar to Outlook but cross platform. Allows for accessing all IMAP folders or just the select ones you want while offline. Works great with apps at our office...

My aim is to be able to keep using my gmail/gapps mail like I do with outlook, but I have a couple of different access points. offline gmail sounded like the way to go.

There are a few bugs lurking in there: it may be necessary to research bug reports and apply patches. The default interface "Curses.Blinkenlights" seems to have been broken by the latest python update: TTY.TTYUI is OK instead. ael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You don't need gears (which has never really worked well for me even when I've been able to install it). You could use any of a number of imap mirroring tools. I use offlineimap quite successfully for offline gmail. HTH, eric -- Eric S Fraga GnuPG: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D
